No manual in Super Mario 3D Land. Another blow to retail games.

Manual/Super Mario Bros

One of the really nice things about Nintendo games through the years has been the manuals. Typically they’re of a very high quality, and even now, as EA and Activision give us terrible black and white, 4 page slips of paper, Nintendo games have come with glorious, full-colour manuals that…

MechWarrior Free-to-Play MMO? Ok!

November 1, 2011

MechWarrior/MMO

Set for release in 2012, MechWarrior Online is going to be one of those MMOs – you know, free to play technically, but plenty of incentives to buy stuff. It’ll have all the trappings of a typical MMO, there’s going to be guilds, and you’ll be able to form parties…

Review: The War of the Worlds (XBLA)

Patrick Stewart/war of the worlds/XBLA/Xbox 360/Xbox Live
